Patience and Love

EAC 500th Adoption pg. 6
Looking at photographs of Molly in her new home, you’d
never know the very difficult time this sweet, loving dog
has endured. Hers is a tale of patience and love, with a
real life happily-ever-after ending.
Molly came to the APL through the work of the APL’s
Humane Investigations (HI) team, whose very difficult job
includes investigating situations of animal neglect and
abuse. They had received a report in June 2013 about a
newborn puppy abandoned in a garage. There was no
sign of his mother. Officer Lisa rushed him to the APL,
where the staff named him Noland and worked to save
him by placing him with a nursing mother cat named
Lurlene and her kittens. The HI team then went back to
the home and found Molly, his mother, chained in the
yard. About a year old, the frightened, emaciated pit bull
terrier mix weighed only thirty pounds. She had wounds
on her head and face and was too weak to nurse her
puppy.
Molly was brought to the APL adoption center where
she received medical care, food, exercise, and, of course,
attention and love from staff and volunteers. However,
her difficult life had left its scars. She was fearful of
most people, and terrified of going outside. Staff and
volunteers did notice, however, that Molly loved being
around other dogs. So, they included her in play groups
at the shelter. She was even reunited with Noland, who
had not only survived, but thrived. The two ran and
played together in the APL’s play yard.
In October, Jessica and her partner came to the APL
looking for a dog. She recalls, “Molly stood in the middle
of the cage … shaking and terrified. We knew right
away we had to give this girl a chance.” Molly couldn’t
have known at that moment that she was getting more
than just a chance – she was getting a happily-ever-after
she couldn’t have even imagined just months before.

Molly with her brother Jerry.
Much to the delight of everyone at the APL who had
come to love this survivor, Jessica adopted Molly. Her
adjustment to her new home did not happen instantly;
her first nights included nightmares, and it took some
time to convince her to go outside. But Jessica gave Molly
exactly what she needed – patience and love. Now, three
months later, Molly is living the life she was meant to
live. She romps happily in her five-acre yard with her
canine brother Jerry and her next door neighbor, another
rescued pit bull terrier. “When Molly feels spunky,”
Jessica recounts, “she runs almost the entire yard! She
loves the snow and it’s hilarious and heartwarming to
watch her run full speed and jump into snow piles. I
never take for granted the simple joy of watching her
finally get to be a puppy.”

Letter from
the CEO
On January 7, a Polar Vortex
plunged temperatures in Greater
Cleveland to record-breaking lows.
At one point, my car thermometer
read -11 degrees. After that, I
stopped looking. It was enough
to know it was much too cold for
humans or companion animals to be
outside for long.
people who either just don’t get it
or don’t care. But, whenever things
start to get to us a bit more than
usual, we tuck it aside and keep
going – for the animals themselves
and the knowledge that we’re
making a difference that matters.
That was certainly the mindset for
our team that day.
As they do every morning, our
Humane Investigations team set
out to respond to reports of animal
cruelty and neglect in Cuyahoga
County. But, on this particular day,
it was frighteningly frigid, so they
were bundled up, and most of the
calls were about dogs left out in the
cold without adequate shelter from
the extreme and potentially lifethreatening conditions.
Late that afternoon, we were
informed that the heat in the dog
adoption area of our PetSmart
Charities® Everyday Adoption Center
at the Parma PetSmart® store wasn’t
working. Despite valiant efforts
on the part of the PetSmart team
to get it restored, it became clear
that there wouldn’t be a reliable fix
quickly enough to ensure the dogs’
comfort overnight. So, our amazing
team sprang into action and decided
to evacuate. But, rather than
bringing them all back to the APL’s
main adoption center in Cleveland,
they put a call out to our foster
volunteers asking if they’d be willing
to give just one dog a warm bed for
the night. We then planned to bring
any dogs not spoken for back to the
APL.
One of the most difficult things we
face, as animal-lovers who spend our
lives trying to protect and better the
lives of animals, is seeing animals
who have been abused, neglected,
or who are not receiving the care we
believe they deserve. And, while it’s
hard every day, on days when the
stakes for their survival are so high,
it’s especially hard. To make matters
worse, so often we’re dealing with
The quickly constructed plea for help
went out at 7:45 p.m. – by
9 p.m., all 15 dogs had a warm,
loving, foster home – but it didn’t
stop there! Long after help was no
longer needed, volunteers were
still calling, still showing up at the
store, still offering to help. People
we didn’t even know and who had
never volunteered for us before
were offering their support – now
and in the future. Needless to say,
we were beyond overwhelmed.
That night, when I finally curled up
in bed, the frustration and anger
that often accompanies hard days
like this one had been replaced by
an overwhelming sense of gratitude
– for our staff, our volunteers,
and our community – our heroes,
my heroes! Truly, after a long day
dealing with people who didn’t
seem to care about animals very
much, there was nothing more
meaningful and important than
being soundly reminded that so, so
many people care very, very deeply.
A Tale of Patience and Love continued from page 1
Jessica explains their relationship
with heartfelt eloquence: “I have
come to depend on her as much
as she has come to depend on me.
I wish I could put into words how
much she means to me … I never
knew or understood until my Molly
came into my life, how giving love
could change something so much.
Not only did it change her life for
the better, but it drastically changed
mine for the better. Molly has
taught me a life-long lesson that I
hope to spread to others. This world
needs more love and patience and
Molly is the perfect example of
that.”
We couldn’t agree more – and Molly
and Jessica are the perfect example
of that.

A Message
of Hope
“Hi Cleveland APL,” read a note that recently appeared
on a bulletin board at the APL. “It’s me, Hope (aka
Sasha).” It’s not unusual for the APL to receive notes
from adopters telling us how their new family member
is fitting in. This note, though, was from the new
adoptee herself, a young cat named Hope!
Hope is a fitting name for the beautiful grey and beige
tortoiseshell cat. She was found by an APL volunteer
in May 2013 as a stray with a litter of two-week-old
kittens. It appeared that Sasha had been living outside,
and there was some concern that she had become feral,
that is, undomesticated, and would find the transition
to living indoors difficult. She was nursing her newborn
kittens, however, and the staff knew how important
it was for those kittens to spend their early days with
their mom. APL staff decided to keep the kittens –
three girls and a boy – with Sasha at the shelter. While
it was uncertain whether Sasha could give up her
“wild” life, staff and volunteers were hopeful that with
some love and attention, Sasha would come around,
and then, when her kittens were old enough, a safe,
loving home could be found for her as well.
Despite initial concerns about Sasha, everyone’s
hopes were realized. She adjusted well to her new
environment, and allowed herself to be handled, even
when she was with her kittens.
Once the kittens were old enough, they went to a
foster home until they were big enough to be spayed
or neutered. Upon their return, the youngsters quickly
found new homes, and luckily for Sasha, she didn’t
have to wait long, either.
Hope enjoying some fresh air.
Andrea and her daughter are cat owners who volunteer
at the APL as dog walkers. They do this, Andrea explains,
to give her daughter, who would like a dog, a muchneeded “dog fix.” After walking the dogs, they make
time to stop in and visit the cats. Andrea noticed Sasha
hiding in the yellow bin in her cage. Then, one day,
Andrea recalls, “We took her out and held her and she
looked at us with her little green eyes as if to say ‘Take
me home.’ She came home with us that day.” Sasha,
renamed Hope, has adjusted well to living indoors,
where she fits in well with her three feline brothers and
sisters. She very graciously included with her note to the
APL a photo of her relaxing
at home. “I even have my
own spot on mom’s bed. The
other cats are nice; especially
Buster who runs and plays
with me. I wanted to let you
know I’m doing great in my
forever home.”
Thank you, Hope, for letting
us know how you’re doing!
We’re sorry! We forgot to give photo credit to Jason Miller for the photos taken for the
Fur Ball article that appeared in the December 2013 issue. Thanks for all you do, Jason!

Opal: A Special
Family Finds a
Gem!
Opal is one of the thousand or so
dogs who came to the Cleveland
APL last year through our Dog
Transfer Program. She came from
Indiana on the CanINE Express, a
transport project through which
volunteers bring dogs from an area
with extreme pet overpopulation
to the Cleveland APL and shelters in
the Northeast that are more able to
help them find new homes. CanINE
Express is one of a number of
groups, including our municipal city
and county kennels, from which the
APL transfers in dogs for adoption.
They also help the Cleveland APL
and Cleveland City Kennel by
transporting dogs that we’re having
trouble placing to places where
they’re more likely to succeed.
Because Opal came in through
the transfer program, the APL
staff didn’t know much about the
cheery, three-year-old Beagle’s past.
Friendly and energetic, she had a
lot of enthusiasm, loved to chew
things, and would benefit from
some training. Shortly after her
arrival, Opal was made available for
adoption at the APL’s new PetSmart
Charities® Everyday Adoption Center
– and she wasn’t there for long!
Rick and his wife have four
teenagers, three with special needs.
At Christmas, each child received

sight! Chris,

a gift of
money
from their
Grandma.
They
decided
that what
they really
wanted was a dog. They put their
money together, and on the day
after Christmas, enlisted their dad’s
help to find their new best friend.
Rick and his family knew what they
were looking for in their new family
member. Because of the children’s
physical conditions, the dog must
be of a manageable size, and not a
jumper. And, of course, it must be a
dog they all agreed upon. They met
Opal, and it was love at first sight Opal immediately fell for Rick’s son,
Chris, showering him with kisses.
Needless to say, she went home that
day!
You might think that a household
with four teenagers and all the
activity that goes with them
wouldn’t need the additional
responsibility of a dog, but Rick saw
it differently. He believed that the
addition of a dog to the household
would help his children focus on
something more fun than their
medical problems. Some families
would find adopting a dog around
the holidays difficult; for Rick
the timing was perfect. A special
education teacher, Rick was on his
holiday break when they adopted
Opal – a perfect time to get started
on her training, which Rick reports is
going well. Opal is learning to “sit,”
and “dances” to get her food. She’s
working on walking nicely on her
leash. And most importantly, while
Opal realizes that Rick is the one in
charge, she loves the whole family,
and they love her right back.
They say a picture is worth a
thousand words. Well, the
photograph of Rick, Chris and Opal
at the EAC certainly tells a story.
When you see the smile on all three
faces – human and canine – you see
that Opal is no longer one among a
thousand dogs transferred in – now
she’s one lucky girl and their one
and only new best friend!

The Third Annual Fur-Get-Me-Not Telethon
will take place on WKYC, Channel 3, on
Friday, March 21, from 5:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
This event will bring together the community
and inspire viewers to help the thousands of
animals that will come through the Cleveland
APL’s doors this year.
Tune in on March 21, and see vignettes that
will showcase the diverse and meaningful
work the APL does to rescue, heal, nurture,
adopt, and advocate for animals in need.
When Noland, a Pit Bull Terrier
mix, was brought to the APL
by our humane investigations
team he was just one day
old. Noland’s mother, Molly,
was malnourished and weak
and not able to care for him,
so his survival was of great
concern. Our wonderful APL
team decided the best option
would be to try placing little
Noland with a litter of nursing
kittens. Remarkably, mom cat
Lurlene welcomed Noland
into her litter as if he was one
of her own, nursing him and
giving him lots of TLC. After
Noland and his new “family”
spent some time in the homes
of APL Foster Care volunteers,
they were ready to head back
to the APL to get adopted.
Shortly after arriving back at
the shelter, Noland, Lurlene
and her four kittens all found
loving homes!
We are also happy to report,
Molly, Noland’s mom, found
her new home, too. Enjoy
the “Happy Tale” story about
Molly, featured on the cover of
this Pet Patter issue.

Making Happily
Ever Afters
Since 1913
The year 2013 marked the Cleveland Animal Protective
League’s Centennial. And as we look back on our
long, rich history of serving the animals of the Greater
Cleveland area, we know we have so many things
to celebrate. But, truly, it all boils down to one very
simple thing … each and every happy ending that has
been created over 100 years for adopted animals and
their people.
Our Centennial Wall not only celebrates our history, it
also allows you to honor the happy ending you made
with your dog, cat or other furry friend. If you choose
to sponsor a panel on our Centennial Wall, you may
include a photo of your best friend and tell his or her
story. This sponsorship is renewable every year.
At the Cleveland Animal Protective League, healthy
friendly animals stay with us until they are adopted.
There is never a limit to the amount of time that they
can be with us. Thanks to our Second Chance Program,
we’re also providing additional medical care to an
increasing number of animals with treatable injuries
and illnesses, which means they may be with us for
a little while longer than usual. Your support of our
Centennial Wall will allow us to continue to care for all
the animals who pass through our doors waiting for
their happy ending.

Become A Cage Sponsor!
Until They Find Their New Home and Family...
The Cleveland Animal Protective
League lovingly cares for thousands
of homeless, injured and abused
animals each year. For some,
their cage at the APL, complete
with a warm bed, toys, plenty of
food and water, and lots of TLC, is
the only “home” they have ever
known. For others, it’s a temporary
home until they find the love of
another family. For all of them,
it’s the reason they’re getting a
second chance. Our annual cage
sponsors bring hope and comfort
to our animals while they wait
for their future mom or dad to
adopt them and take them home—
Pet Patter 12pgs Q12014 Large_NCL.indd 12
We all know a cage in a shelter is
not a permanent home, but with
your cage sponsorship, we can
make it a temporary home away
from home until they have one of
permanently. We ask that you help
us to provide all of the care and
love they need while they are with
us by becoming a cage sponsor.
Your cage sponsorship will be
recognized with a plaque on
a cage in our cat, dog or small
mammal adoption center areas.
You may choose to make your cage
sponsorship in honor or in memory
of a special pet or person or you
may choose to advertise your
business. Cage sponsorships are
renewable every year.
their own by providing all the care
that is needed—and that they so
rightfully deserve.
For cage sponsorship opportunities
please see above.
At the Cleveland Animal Protective
League, healthy, friendly animals
stay with us until they are adopted.
